Following the world-wide record-breaking success of "Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor" last weekend, members of the UK House of Lords have paid tribute to the BBC's 50-year-old TV sci-fi drama series.

Having already covered the first six Doctors, UKTV Watch continues its “Doctor Who” 50th-anniversary celebrations by looking at the eras of Seventh and Eighth Doctors, as played by Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann, respectively.

The UK broadcaster Channel 4 has announced the launch of a new channel, 4seven, which will offer viewers the opportunity of watching some of their most popular programmes that its stations have shown over the previous seven days.
